Parameters

dd.rfc-822-attribute-value-pair

A DD.RFC-822 attribute value pair.

Description

X.400 Domain Defined Attribute values are limited to a maximum of 128 characters. Internet addresses are normally "embedded" into an X.400 address by representing the Internet address using the X.400 DD.RFC-822 attribute; but since Internet addresses may be longer than the X.400 DDA value limit, a single DD.RFC-822 attribute value may not be able to contain an entire long Internet address. To handle this case, three additional "continuation" DDA's have been defined, DD.RFC822C1, DD.RFC822C2, and DDRFC822C3. A single Internet address may be split among these four DDA's, thus allowing Internet addresses of up to 512 characters to be embedded into an X.400 address.

The command encode a "long" X.400 DD.RFC-822 attribute value---one with more than 128 characters into the value---into a DD.RFC-822 attribute plus continuation DD.RFC822Cn attributes.
